"I don't think I want this anymore"
As she drops the ring to the floor.
She says to herself, "You've left before"
"This time you will stay gone, that's for sure."

And he shouted something else
To drag her suitcase down the path
To the driveway.
She had never gone that far

Normally this would be
The time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving, but this time
Without crying,
As she got into her car

She said „No
Happily never after
That just ain't for me.
'Cause finally ('cause finally)
I know
I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall."

As she drove away she starts to smile
Realized she hadn't for a while.
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial.

Laughing about the way he shouted something else (he shouted something else)
She dragged her suitcase down the path
To the driveway (to the driveway)
She had never gone that far
Normally this would be, the time that she
Would let him talk her out of leaving
But this time, without crying,
As she got into her car

She said „No
Happily never after
That just ain't for me
'Cause finally ('cause finally)
I know
I deserve better, after all
I'll never let another teardrop fall."

Said I'm so done, so done, I'm so done
I'm free, I'm free
Said I'm so free, I'm so free, I'm so free
She inhales a breath she'd never breathed before
The era of no drama, no more

'Cause she said „No
Happily never after
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know
I deserve better, after all, oh

No
Happily never after
That just ain't for me
Because finally
I know
I deserve better, after all, oh

I'll never let another teardrop fall
Ooh
Another teardrop fall
I'll never let another
No I'll never let a
No I'll never let a
Another teardrop fall

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
